Don't like dining alone? Café offers stuffed animal companions

TOKYO -- Are you the type of person who hates dining out alone? The Moomin House Cafe in Tokyo may be place for you.

The quirky cafe seats single diners with a stuffed animal companion. The plush toys are Moomins, a family of hippo-like characters created by a Finnish illustrator.

The cafe's "anti-loneliness" concept caught the attention of the masses a few weeks ago and tables have been packed ever since.

Don't worry, if even if you're there with a group, the cafe will still give you a chance to break bread with one of the fluffy friends.
